Stéphanie Riso

PRINCIPAL ADVISER TO EU BREXIT NEGOTIATOR MICHEL BARNIER

As part of Michel Barnier’s Brexit negotiating team, Stéphanie Riso has won a reputation for extreme competence from both sides of the Brexit debate. Before Brexit, Riso was in charge of preparing the EU’s next long-term budget. She has never issued a comment or statement in her own words on Twitter but religiously retweets her boss and colleagues. Riso has a reputation as a serious hardworking economist, who is especially appreciated by the British Brexit negotiating team, some of who told POLITICO they prefer her to Barnier.
